LoveKills manifesto (2009)

http://www.grassrootsfeminism.net/cms/node/162

Heteronormative love kills. Love relationships perceived and lived in
terms of heteronormativity require the ultimate restriction of one’s
freedom of living her/his life without restraints, one’s freedom of true
loving. Jealousy and possessiveness, emotional pressure and blackmail,
dictating one’s feelings and the way they should be expressed, are
instances met almost all the time in monogamous relationships and they
are restraining the individual’s sphere of enjoying other kinds of
relationships – of friendship, love, mutuality and so on – others then
the one and only shared with the other person. Very often this love you
are sharing with the opposite gender is nourishing and is brutally
imposing beauty standards imprisoning the other one in sexist
stereotypes.
Your love for animals kills. The fact that you have adopted a dog/cat
or any other pet from a shelter does not award you the status of friend
of animals, as long as at your dinner there is corpse lieing in your
plate, a corpse that have been subjected to terrifying ordeals, just so
that you may satisfy your gustative papilas; as long as in your wardrobe
an argentinean fox is being hung, a fox that have been skinned alive
just so that you can satisfy your megalomania; and as long as you are
keeping in cages wild animals just so that you can delude your
alienation and misery of your humankind. Your love for animals kills
animals.
Love for your GOD kills. Throughout history GODS have planned and
ordered the most bloody massacres, the killing of thousands of people
just because they were not worshiping and blindly accepting the blatant
abuses done by their churches, had burned on stake and tortured women
because unjustified fear of women was hunting them in nightmares.
Love for your country kills. Nationalism is a stove inside which
misery is being yeasted. And love for an abstract notion such as nation
is canceling first of all your affiliation to an international humanity,
it is generating xenophobia, it is arousing wars and killing thousands
of people.
Your love for a superior race kills. “Race” is an imagined entity.
“Race” has no biological basis. There has been determined only one race:
THE HUMAN RACE! But your love for a certain race, your preference for a
certain skin color is dehumanizing you and through segregation,
discrimination and exploitation it is opening the path towards genocide.

I apologize, but in the course of adding over 600 articles to this site mostly over the course of a few months, I neglected to include trigger warnings and do not see it as something I can go back and correct.

Anarcha: Mother of Gynecology

It was after being part of anarcha.org that I learned of a woman named Anarcha, having nothing to do with anarcha-feminism, but whose story is very relevant. I was reminded of her recently by my friend Will who wants to study midwifery. Anarcha was a slave who was experimented on by a gynecologist numerous times without anesthesia.Anarcha: Mother of GynecologyAnarcha's Story
